Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Roshen made his first-class debut in the year 2006 as an 18-year old and has not looked back since then. He has stacked up runs year after year in the domestic circuit and that meant he banged the opportunity door open to represent Sri Lanka at the highest level.
A strong believer in God, Roshen's chances came in 2016 when he was picked for the squad that was to play a three match Test series against the Aussies at home. Lanka went on to win that series and Silva never got a chance to play. History repeated itself when the Islanders travelled to UAE to play a couple of Tests against Pakistan and again Silva, despite being in the squad was overlooked. Again, Lanka had won that series as well.
A squad member of various 'A' tours, Roshen made his opportunity count when he was handed his maiden Test cap against India in the third Test at Feroz Shah Kotla. Roshen got out for a duck in the first innings but played a crucial knock of 74* to bail Lanka out of troubled waters on a day 5 wicket to secure a draw for his side.
He was the Man of the Series in his next assignment in Bangladesh as he also registered a maiden ton in the first Test of the two-match Test series. Lanka won the second Test and won the series 1-0.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
One of Sri Lanka's most consistent domestic batsmen, rare is the year in which Roshen Silva does not average close to or above 50 in the Premier League Tournament. His challenge has been to stand out. Though often one of the best batsmen in any first-class season, Silva has rarely been the top-scorer, nor the batsman who appears most naturally gifted among the domestic lot. But eventually the piles of runs he had accrued began to pique the national selectors' interest.
For Silva, 2016 was almost a breakthrough year. Having impressed in an October tour of New Zealand for Sri Lanka A the previous year, Silva scored 678 runs at an average of over 55 in the 2016 Premier League Tournament. When he followed that up with 314 runs at 62.80 for Sri Lanka A in England, he was called up to the Test squad. Had it been any other series, Silva may have made his debut, only he had been selected for the series in which Sri Lanka would whitewash Australia 3-0 - the selectors saw no need to make changes to the batting order.
Silva would be picked in the Sri Lanka squad again - this time in the outfit to play Pakistan, in September and October 2017.
A graduate of St Joseph's College, Silva had also played for Sri Lanka's Under-19 side.
